so just for NWA-Planted i took a few shots of my fish
female and male lacustris rainbows. the male was very shy
HOWEVER, a male pracox kept showing up riht past the driftwood to block the male so of course i assumed he just wanted his picture taken as well

Also included is a full tank shot driftwood got thrown in, just waiting for it all to stop floating before i completely arrange it. i really like the two pieces on the right side

faster plants growth i would imagine.. things get pretty thick fast so flow gets cutout between plant groups fast.
if they grow fast, less time for algae to propagate, and that means more trims to allows fresh water through

ludwigia senegalensis is my favorite plant so far
i dropped down to 100 par at the substrate and i have more algae now than i did when it was at 130 at the substrate so i may increase intensity and just let everything grow like crazy and trim every 3-4 days

How long did it take your aquasoil to stop leaching ammonia?

From what I can see with my test kit it hasn't gone beyond 4ppm... Just ready to add fish!!

Sorry, I don't know why I left part of the post out, I was following pictures on your 29 gallon. I know what you mean though, I think, then again I am always picking up a lot of things along the way. I was running 3/4" PVC and could not run my return completely open without problems. The 1" that I switched to is able to flow properly. I'll stop derailing this now .

ur fine!
i'll eventually get around to writing a proper thread detailing overflow setup so i can stop telling everyone bigger is better for drains, post by post

no herbie. single 1.5 inch drain.. same principle as herbie. bigger drain, less flow= less noise. the secret to herbie is not the full siphon. its the overflow drain that just has a trickle of water which makes almost no noise. bigger drain per volume of water = less noise.
i can take the durso off and have a single standpipe and its almost dead silent. matter of fact i may just go cut me a piece to raise the water level and not use a durso now that u got me talking about it
